ULM heads up this week's Sun Belt Conference recap by upsetting Troy at Blakeney field. This is the second conference loss for Troy, making it hard for the Trojans to repeat as Sun Belt Champion, a position they have held or shared for five years straight.

None of the Sun Belt football teams have broken into the Top 25 on any poll, but the Cajuns have gotten 2 votes in the Harris Interarctive poll this week. The conference is still ranked last among 1A teams in almost all rankings; in Sagarin, the Sun Belt has fallen behind 1AA Southern.

Although ranked 2nd to last in the preseason polls, the Cajuns have won 5 straight, and have overcome both front runners, FIU, and tonight, Troy. The only out-of-conference games this week were USA, which downed UTSA in a double over-time thriller, and FIU which beat Akron on the road

FIU, Arkansas State, Troy and Louisiana are elbowing to the top of the calculated rankings. Meanwhile, the Sun Belt still sits low on the conference rankings. The rankings are taken from 4 of the 6 rankings used to calculate the BCS poll; the remaining 2 do not become active until later in the season.
